What holds it all together is industrial materials — cyanotype, asphalt, polypropylene rope — and a question I keep asking: what kind of stories can be told about these materials, and what do they tell us about ourselves?
My practice spans sculpture, painting, and drawing. The through-line is a deep engagement with materials that were made to serve industrial purposes — not to be beautiful, not to mean anything — and asking what happens when you use them to explore biological, economic, and social interventions into natural systems.
The work also serves multiple lives: a sculpture might be a prop in a film, a teaching tool in a classroom, or a backdrop to a conversation. That multiplicity is intentional.
I'm a freelance cinematographer with over four years of full-time experience — narrative features, short films, documentaries, educational work. Most of my film work has been with Bawaadan Productions, an Indigenous-owned media production company based in Hamilton.
I'm a collaborator, not just a camera operator. Expert in composition and creative lighting, both studio and outdoors.
I teach community arts across Toronto/Tkaronto, where I live and work. I've developed yearslong collaborative relationships with YTB (Younger Than Beyoncé) Gallery and Bawaadan Collective. Relationality — being in long-term, reciprocal relationships with communities — isn't background context for my practice. It is the practice.
